Cookies and Cocktail Video

This party is a fun twist on the classic cookie swap, but in addition to cookies, you also serve delicious cocktails! You can get very creative with cookies and cocktail-themed parties!

I especially love the boozy milkshake with a chocolate chip cookie lid! Every lid should be a chocolate chip cookie, right?!

How to Host a Cookies and Cocktails Party!

Choose the occasion – is it a celebration or a simple gathering.

Send out invites – Paperless Post or Evite is great.

Decide on a menu – 3 to 4 cookie recipes to pair with a few cocktails.

Decor – Add in simple decor items like coasters, paper straws, pretty napkins. Set everything on a table or around a coffee table.

Cookies and Cocktails Pairing

When deciding what cocktails to serve with cookies, think of ingredients that go well with cookies. Ingredients like hazelnut, different kinds of milk, chocolate, maybe a few simple floral scents… the cocktail should complement the cookie. No one wants to drink margarita while eating a chocolate chip cookie! Here are some cookie and cocktail pairing ideas:

Cookie Party Favors

The best favor for a cookie party is the actual cookies! There are always leftover cookies, especially if you’re hosting a cookie swap. Have a packing station ready with boxes and ribbon so guests can pack their own cookie box to take home.

Cookie Decorating Party

A fun activity for a cookie party is to decorate cookies! On a kitchen table or island, have a cookie decorating station with supplies and plain sugar cookies ready to be decorated. It’s a fun activity for adults too! Here’s a list of cookie decorating supplies:

  • Sugar cookies
  • Piping bags filled with frosting
  • Variety of sprinkles
  • Napkins
  • Plates

    Hi Eden,

    I was thrilled to find the Chewy Ginger Cookie recipe on world markets website. I wanted to make them for the holidays coming up. However, when I looked at the ingredients the amount of flour needed for this recipe was omitted.

    Please let me know how I can get the correct recipe, so I can make these yummy cookies. If possible, please send the recipe for the Chewy Ginger Cookies to my email. That would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!!

    Happy Holidays!!!
